“For us, CircleCI is the most important piece that bridges development and deployment; we couldn’t live without it.”

The Challenge Prior to CircleCI

Kaizen Platform has been using CircleCI since the company started thanks to
the platform’s ease of initial setup, no need for
maintenance, rich integration with other services and
customizability.

The Solution

With CircleCI, Kaizen Platform is confident that it can meet business
objectives while trusting CircleCI to run a stable continuous
integration system, continuously running unit and end-to-end tests
at each build. Continuous end-to-end testing has resulted in
greatly improved quality of service for Kaizen’s web customers.

Thanks to easy integration with chat applications and GitHub, the
company has streamlined its workload by using ChatOps to
consistently automate a number of tasks including application
deployment, server automation, and security updates. Kaizen has
built a powerful system to automatically run security updates by
leveraging CircleCI to check on EC2 security updates—engineers
simply need to merge the pull request, which in turn triggers
builds on CircleCI that runs security updates on all servers.

Additionally, because CircleCI handles infrastructure management,
server monitoring and disaster recovery, Kaizen has saved
considerably on the operating costs of running a CI system
themselves and is able to scale as needed in just a click of a
button.

“From simple setup and easy integration across GitHub, Chat apps, Docker (and more) to the ability to deploy to different environments from production, QA, and staging—CircleCI has proven to be completely indispensable for our business.”
